Articles about Eddie Barlow


Profile:

An irrepressible cricketer, Eddie Barlow was a fine all-rounder who saw limited exposure at the highest level due to the exclusion of South Africa from international cricket for much of his career. The bespectacled Barlow was an obdurate opening batsman, not always attractive to watch, and an enthusiastic fast-medium bowler who revelled in English condtions where his ability to swing and seam the ball made him highly effective. Naturally very short sighted, and somewhat portly as a youth, he matured into an at times explosive cricketer. As a bat he had a sound defence, and was particularly strong off the back foot; 6 test centuries in 30 Tests attests to his quality as an opening bat. A fine fielder, particularly in the slips (he kept wicket in his early days), he was also an inspiring captain of Western Province and of Derbyshire, who he joined as an overseas player for 3 seasons in the 1970s. In extremely august company, he was possibly the outstanding player of the 1970 Rest of the World series against England, scoring useful runs, and at one point taking a hat-trick (and 3 wickets in 5 balls). A knowledgable and thoughtful player, he maintained his links with the game after retirement, most recently as coach of Bangladesh (DL, May, 2000)
